f(x)=4x+5f(x)=\sqrt{4x+5}, domain x≥−54x\ge-\dfrac54, range [0,∞)[0,\infty). Since a square root is always increasing on its domain, ff is one-one, hence invertible (as a map onto its range).

Let y=4x+5y=\sqrt{4x+5} (y≥0y\ge0). Square both sides: y2=4x+5  ⟹  x=y2−54y^2=4x+5 \implies x=\dfrac{y^2-5}{4}. …
